Directions
1.
In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, almonds, cherries and salt. Set aside.
2.
In a large, heavy saucepan, combine the Stevia In The Raw, the Sugar In the Raw, cocoa, butter and milk, and bring to a boil over medium heat, 3 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Add the peanut butter, and vanilla, and cook, stirring, until blended. Off the heat, add the oat mixture and stir until a pliable "dough" forms.
3.
Scooping up 1 tablespoon, roll the dough into a 1-inch ball and place on a baking sheet, spacing 22 balls 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball into a 2-inch cookie. Refrigerate until the cookies are chilled and firm, about 1 hour. Refrigerated in a tightly sealed container, these cookies keep for 3 days. Serve chilled.
